Rubbish.

There are many "books" older than the bible still in circulation.
Such as the Epic of Gilgamesh, the Pyramid Texts, the Hindu scriptures.

No, they are not.
But if YOU think so, please show these inscriptions.

They wandered for 40 years because they were being punished,

Which would leave a HUGE amount of evidence behind - broken pots, fireplaces, and - several MILLION RONS of dried feces.
But -
there is NO evidence found after much looking.
The facts are crystal clear - the exodus never happened.

No, they havent.

Also, there is evidence on Mt. Sinai of an encampment and places of worship.

Maybe there is - so what?

God doesn't lie,

Yes he does -
in the Garden of Eden he said Adam and Eve would die on the very day they ate of the tree.
But, they DID eat, and they did NOT die.
God lied.
(Meanwhile - the serpent told the truth.)

His Book doesn't lie.

Yes it does.
Serpents don't talk, and many many other lies are found in this book.

An ancient jewish historian name joseephus wrote about Jesus and his followers later a first century Roman historian also wrote about Jesus and the fact he was crucified, at least we do have evidence of this (althoguh written decades or centuries after the fact.

Rubbish.
The T.F. passage is known to be corrupt.

But that's the best "evidence" Christians can come up with for Jesus - a corrupt, possibly forged, passage from DECADES afterwards.

Originally posted by whirlwind
Time itself changed with Christ and you question His life?

What stupid nonsense.
Time did NOT change with Christ at all.

But -
several CENTURIES after the alleged Jesus, SOME people in SOME cultures started using the A.D. system. Some don't.

Consider -
we name our days after Gods - e.g. Thursday named after Thor.
According to whirlwind, this proves Thor is real.
What nonsense.

If you believe the Bible is the word of God you cannot pick and choose which parts to live your life by you must incorparate it all.

Right -
So you don't eat pork?
Or shellfish?
You don't wear mixed cloths?
You don't work on Sunday?
You stone naughty children to death?
Hmm?

Do you really follow all the rules?
Of course you don.t
Which makes you a lieing hypocrite.

I'm not familiar with what scripture you are referencing about selling a daughter.

What?
You JUST CLAIMED we had to follow ALL the rules !
Now we find out you don't even KNOW the rules!
Ignorant hypocrite.

Originally posted by whirlwind
The pictures we see of Jesus of course, are artist's depiction, but I believe He did actually have long hair. The reference to it being a sin for man to have long hair is about homosexuality not the literal wearing of long hair.

What?!
You JUST CLAIMED we had to follow ALL the rules !
Now you say it's OK for Jesus to BREAK the rules !
What nonsense.

Does that convice you?
No?

But somehow, you think preaching YOUR holy book will convince people.
Why?

They have found evidence that the Jews were free and built the pyramids willingly.

No,
they havent.

And, not surprisingly, you totally FAIL to cite this evidence.
Just like all the preachers here.

Come on -

Pope Leo X (1513-`521)

Just a tip for you :

The is famouse quote is all over the 'net.
But, it's not true.
Note that no specific source is ever given (i.e. a document name.)

Pope Leo did NOT say that himself.
It's from a later PLAY about him by John Bale called "The Pageant of Popes"

But once again,
you provide NO evidence,
just preaching...
Yawn.

Don't you people ever check anything?

There are many books older than the bible, such as the Epic of Gilgamesh (from which some details were copied into the Bible.)

I didn't bother to sift through 10 pages of back and forth arguments to see if this had been stated, so I will state it now just to humor myself.

The OP was taken pretty much line for line from Penn and Tellers bull#. The episode is titled The Bible is Bull#. His arguement from Genesis to the New Testament and everything in between is nothing but a rip off of someone elses arguement. Normally it wouldn't bother me because I enjoy Penn and Teller's show, but this guy makes no arguements of his own. The very least he should have stated that he saw this on a show and it makes sense to him, instead of passing it off as his own arguement.

Good grief, You start by saying you believe in God then start tearing other peoples beliefs apart. Unless you can give absolute proof that your beliefs are better than theirs than your arguing over who has the better imaginary friend.

The problem with all religions isn't that you think you've cornered the market on God, but that you have to prove no one else has.

It's not abut the Bible, or the Koran or the dead sea scrolls or anything else along those lines.

The problem is fine ATS members like you wanting to tell everyone else their belief in God is wrong while sitting in your little ivory tower and passing judgment.

ALL people should be free to believe as they choose without someone else sitting around telling them how wrong they are.

Religion should be in the heart, Not on the battlefield. Until we all accept that, the senseless killings will go on.

______________________

hes pointing out that mankind wrote the books of the bible, and that our hatreds of eachother, since were all the same. For instance he mentioned the line about homosexuality, A human wrote that, GOD DID NOT. In FACT GOD MADE GAYS. GOD MADE THE LION TO EAT THE ELK, THOUGH ITS CALLED KILLING. Its just way things are. Christians cannot admit that they are dirty skin. THey are not sanctified because they went to a church and participated in some thing that made them "feel" a certain way, feeling are generaly self deception. Its what the church relies on, vague sensation. The real Jesus, if he re-incarnates as the bible eludes to mentioning a New Name called Rightious and True. Will not use sensation, he will tell you things that offend you and make you hate the truth, until you face it. Why does God need to sweeten the truth up for people in denial.

God made the universe free, he made it, set it free, and randomly intrudes based on responses from our collective vbrational spectrums.
The universe is not this visual representation of old buildings, or crooked ugly people. Our spiritual image is beautiful, and yes i have seen a piece of this inner heaven.

no way there are no other books that are older than the Bible. the epic of gilgamesh is a story that is not true it is a representation of the life of the historic people in the periods of the times in the Bible.

Gday,

Wrong.

Go check the facts please.

The Epic of Gilgamesh DOES date from long before the bible.
And, the Bible's flood story is clearly copied from that earlier work.
